- abtem.distributions.gaussian(standard_deviation, num_samples, dimension=1, center=0.0, ensemble_mean=True, sampling_limit=3.0, normalize='intensity')[source]#
Return a distribution with values weighted according to a (multidimensional) Gaussian distribution. The values are evenly spaced within a given truncation of the Gaussian distribution. As an example, this distribution may be used for simulating focal spread.
- Parameters:
standard_deviation (float or tuple of float) – The standard deviation of the distribution. The standard deviations may be given for each axis as a tuple, or as a single number, in which case it is equal for all axes.
num_samples (int) – Number of samples uniformly spaced samples. The samples may be given for each axis as a tuple, or as a single number, in which case it is equal for all axes.
center (float or tuple of float) – The center of the Gaussian distribution (default is 0.0). The center may be given for each axis as a tuple, or as a single number, in which case it is equal for all axes.
dimension (int, optional) – Number of dimensions of the Gaussian distribution.
ensemble_mean (bool, optional) – If True, the mean of ensemble of measurements defined by the distribution is calculated, otherwise the full ensemble is kept. Default is True.
sampling_limit (float, optional) – Truncate the distribution at this many standard deviations (default is 3.0).
normalize (str, optional) – Specifies whether to normalize the ‘intensity’ (default) or ‘amplitude’.
- Return type:
